Affective Flying-Robot Motions via the Laban Effort SystemIn this project, we leverage locomotion paths of a flying robot as a communcation channel and adapt the Laban Effort System, a standard method for interpreting human motion commonly used in the performing arts, to develop a design tool-a set of guidelines-that can be leveraged by HRI designers to author affective locomotion paths for flying robots.VideoVideo File 1A Laban trained artist authoring quadrotor motions by demonstating within a motion-capture tracked spaceA participant watches a quadrotor moving around with an expressive locomotion path designed using the Laban Effort SystemProject PublicationsAdapting the Laban Effort System to Design Affect-Communicating Locomotion Path for a Flying RobotMegha Sharma.
